You guys are forgetting the fact that this promotion is meant for new members only. I have used Shoprunner many times at Newegg, Sports Authority, PETsMART, etc. I like the service and I am on my second year now - free one year and paid $79 for the second. It is a great service and well worth the $79 IMHO. Seems that this thread is all about how to "cheat" Shoprunner into giving people an additional year of service for free. The more people "cheat" them, the less likely they will be around for much longer.

Thanks! I used the hell out of Shoprunner on Newegg & Dominos this year. Glad to see I get it again. I don't know if this works for everyone, but all my local Dominos specials that were pickup only, if I logged in my Shoprunner, it would let me get it delivered. It was a heck of a deal for the $5 large two topping deal they had.

The more people "cheat" them, the less likely they will be around for much longer.

What they want much more than non-renewals (which is what the great majority of people here would be because they don't get sufficient value out of the membership to pay $79 for it) is being able to direct users to their partners. What their partners want is for Shoprunner to direct more customers to their stores. I did use it several times this year, and also patronized some stores I wouldn't otherwise have (so, I provided value to them); just not enough to justify paying $79, so I did not plan to renew my subscription.

If this were truly for new customers only (and, there was no indication in the OP that this is the case), they would have programmed their system to prevent current customers from signing up again ("We're sorry, but our records show that you have had a Shoprunner membership within the past 12 months. You are not eligible for this free offer."). However, they did not do that (I also got an offer a few months ago for a free Shoprunner membership from a credit card company, with no suggestion that it is for new members only, so I see this as another effort to both get new members and keep current members).

After another free round, I may decide that it's worth paying for. Who knows. I've had several free trials of Amazon Prime over the years, but did not convert into a paying customer until this year. Shoprunner may offer another free year, or they may not. Who knows. But, their chances of converting me to a paying customer are much greater if I can extend my trial period another year, and that's actually a win for both of us (and, for their partners).

Thanks OP, I missed the last free offer. I just signed up and added gmail, and now have a free membership through 3/20/2014.

They did program their system to reject current customers. "You already have an active Shoprunner account. Please login to access your account.". I just tried it. If it went through, whatever, but that was not my intent.

Worked great for me too. Cancelled and re-signed up, extended through 2013. Woot!

OK, we get it . It worked. Please post with NEW or ADDITIONAL information. Don't need 100 more members to post just to say "I did it". Thanks to FW Staff.

so you've lost out on the rest of your membership. Why? They might add more stores that you like. Never know. Nothing gained by cancelling early.

I like the "it worked" posts. They show me the deal is still going on and bumps the thread back to the top of the feed so others don't miss it. I'd miss lots of great deals if people didn't bump them up.

Thanks, since I missed this originally and my Free 1yr account was about to end in 9 days. Got another year for free.

Looked over my history and I've only used this account for Newegg and Dominos, guess I have to see if they offer anything else.

"On your honor" is the way they say. In my case I used the service exactly once (for Domino's) but I most likely would not use it if (a) I didn't already have a membership and (b) if it's not integrated into the checkout process of whatever site is partnered. It seems like keeping track of all the discounts when making a purchase is a task of its own and probably ripe for a solution (like, isn't the whole point convenience?)...

PS: If they would prefer that customers like me not keep a membership I would be happy to drop mine... but at present my only motivation for paying for a membership in the future (like 'azs1') would be an opportunity to use it (which only seems more likely with a trial); if that makes me subject to allegations of "cheating" then perhaps it's not worth it (though Shoprunner should be the one making that determination).
